Problem to be addressed :
Marshland area of Madaripur and Gopalgonj Districts are known as very low crop ( paddy ) yielding areas and frequent crop failure is the natural phenomenon in these areas as usually these areas are steadily being swamped by locked water body almost every time of the year. Only 5 months in a year from December to May lands come out of water when the poor farmers cultivate to get one time yearly paddy especially known as BORO Paddy and for the conventional cultivation practice and lack of proper modern agricultural know-how, technique and knowledge, the per acre paddy yielding is much less than 1 ton which is one of the lowest level in Bangladesh which is the main cause of poverty and misery of people these areas. On the other hand, if proper agriculture technology and applicable appropriate cultivation methods are used in cultivation and if people are fully conversant to modern way of crop cultivation, the yearly paddy yielding can easily be multiplied to more than 2 tons to 2.5 tons in several folds, which not only alleviate their poverty but will ensure their sustainable growth in socio-economic status. The main root causes for this problem are ignorance of local people to modern agricultural technologies, their traditional and conventional attachments, beliefs and approaches for paddy cultivation, lack of facilities to effective technology transfer to these farmers & cultivators because of the isolation and poor communication to reach the target areas, absent of government & NGOs initiatives to solve this problem & poor facilities to make people conversant to modern agricultural technologies applicable to these areas. As a result, it is often found that when people face severe crop shortage or crop failures, ultimately they pledge their arable land to affluent ones and quickly become landless and marginal farmers and transform into agriculture labor. In this way when work for agro-based labor become scarce in non-agro-period, they have to starve and ultimately migrate to urban slums for low skilled jobs and pass most inhuman and miserable lives. Thus a farmer family from this area become uprooted very quickly and go under poverty line and become enormous load to community and country as well. So, look into their problem is of urgent need on humanitarian and socio-economic perspective.
